CHADD was founded in 1987 in response to the frustration and sense of isolation experienced by parents and their children with ADHD.
CHADD is a membership organization, produces the bi-monthly Attention magazine, and sponsors an annual conference. The National Resource Center on ADHD (NRC) is the CDC-funded national clearinghouse for evidence-based information about ADHD.
Contact information for all local chapters is available online through CHADD's Resource Directory.
